Reflection
I was excited when I heard we would be doing a voice thread. I had never done one before, and I had no idea how to achieve it. I was still excited, because I felt it would be something that would be important for my profession. I found it explained in a few simple steps, but getting it to actually work well took a little effort. I found that as I worked with the programs I could get them to correspond to my pictures. I feel this could be incorporated into teaching different subjects. Once the students got used to managing the programs, they could use it for many subjects and would be a benefit.
